TEOTWAWKI is an acronym standing for "The End Of The World As We Know It". The acronym is spoken "Tee-ought-walk-ee". It is used often online by members of survivalist groups, but has spread into common usage, making an appearance in lyrics by R.E.M. The acronym was first coined by Mike Medintz on misc.survivalism in the mid 1990's.
It also featured as a title of season 3, episode 3 of the television series Millennium (TV series) in which a spree killing at a U.S. high school is linked to a plot by technology millionaires to survive the fallout from the millennium bug and consequent collapse of civilized society.
